New Clutch Model For Aygo, Which Year?

Which year (and month or serial number) did Toyota change from 180mm to 190 mm clutch? I get worried just reading about clutch problem with Aygo in the internet. I have a 2008 Aygo with MMT.

The larger clutch was introduced on the new 2009 models. You will have the smaller clutch.

Well looks like I will have to bear it out and see. It is a MMT model and I noticed that clutch arm lever in this MMT box is a much thicker arm (compared to photos of the rusty clutch arm in the manual Aygo/C1 on the internet). I have sprayed som antirust thing on it to preserve the arm better. Let us hope rest of the clutch holds up too. The car has done 36000km and the MMT is perfect, quick gear change and no slipping, so far. How could Toyota compromise on quality of important parts such asa clutch (together with gear and engine, it must be the most essential part of a car), and so expensive to repair too!
